Where is the Alternator located on a 1999 Cadillac eldorado?
I have no idea about this specific car, but the alternator in general is an electrical generator which is driven off the engine's crankshaft. It will normally be at one end of the engine and driven by a belt - it is easily identified as it is about the size of a pineapple and is surrounded by coils of wire.
What is the normal coolant temp for a 1995 Cadillac Eldardo?
It should range from 195 to 230 and any thing above that is to high!
The choke on the carberator is stuck open so it allows too much air for the amount of fuel needed to start the car. If you look in the top of the carb, there is a flap that is probably stuck straight up and down. In cold weather, that flap is supposed to be sideways and closing off the opening of the carb.
Expanding on the above answer, while warming up, this choke flap is controlled by an electrically heated coil (automatic choke), this sits on the side of carb and is about 2" in circumference. It has two screws holding the face of the thing in position. When loosened, the face can be rotated to adjust the coil inside/level of choke, there are marks to show the normal position as a reference.
This will get the engine started in the cold, but is probably compensating for some other problem, and may make engine run rich once warm.

Why does your Eldorado when set to heat get heat from passenger side but cool air from drivers side?
Easiest way to fix the problem is to flush your heater core with distilled water. If this does not work you will have to take it in to have the actuator door on the driver side replaced which will cost you around $150. More times than not it is fixed by the flushing.

What could be the reason for an automatic trunk closer not working on a 1996 Cadillac STS?

How do you remove the alternator from 1994 Cadillac eldorado?
To remove disconnect the negative battery cable, remove the cover from the headlamps and radiator shroud.
Disconnect the left engine torque strut from the radiator support then disconnect the upper trans oil cooler line from the transmission cooler.Next remove the right and left cooling fan. After that is done remove the serpentine belt from the alternator. Next remove the bolt from the front top of the alt. and the bolt from the locovered in this guider front of the alt. And detach the harness connector and putput cable from the alt.
Just so you know the bolt nearest the exhaust manifold can't be removed from the bracket but can be backed out to allow it to be taken out.
You'll have to remove the a/c splash shield from the cradle and the access panel from the bottom side of the radiator and disconnect the engine harness from its cradle. You can move the alt away from the engine and pull it out from the bottom side of the engine
if you need help putting it back in then post and if i see it I'll help

How do you change the wiper arm on a 1997 Eldorado?
The 1997 Cadillac Eldorado has fairly unique "1/4" side lock" wiper arm attachments. See the Sources and Related Links section below for wiper blade installation videos and wiper blade information. Also, if you purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Lastly, purchasing wipers is a little more tricky now-a-days than in the past. Do not just buy by length - lookup the proper wipers by vehicle make, model and year because that will ensure correct attachment as well as lengths. Again, see the Sources and Related Links section below for wiper blade size lookup.
